The Great Bend High School National Honor Society inducted 32 new members for the 2022-2023 school year on April 11, recognizing the achievements of students in the classroom and beyond. 

Membership in NHS is reserved for juniors and seniors who exhibit exceptional character, demonstrate leadership, and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.8, with 4.0 representing straight A’s. 

“According to the NHS constitution, the purpose of NHS is ‘to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in our students,” shared Kayci Teghtmeyer, NHS advisor. 

When the new inductees begin their membership in NHS at the start of the 2022-2023 school year, there will be a total of 60 student members. Each semester, members are expected to earn 15 hours of documented service from a variety of organizations or tasks. 

“Each year, thousands of cumulative service hours by our members make a noticeable and positive impact on our school and community,” said Teghtmeyer. “Through this program I have the privilege of seeing firsthand the growth and development of our students’ leadership skills and abilities.”
